I didn’t know anything about the 15th annual Poets Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge on Monday night.

Wasn’t anyone gonna tell me (or send me some PR?).

Actor Bill Murray was there as was  Brooklyn Poet laureate Tina Chang and poet Galway Kinnell, who read Walt Whitman’s “Crossing Brooklyn Ferry” at the Fulton Ferry Landing.

Poets House organized the walk and readings, which sounded great. This might be a good time to mention Broken Land, the  first poetry anthology dedicated exclusively to verse about Brooklyn edited by Julia Spicher Kasdorf and Michael Tyrell and published by NYU Press. The editors have collected 135 poems that convey the borough’s long history as well as the diverse mosaic of lives lived here.

Many of the poems recited during the Poets Walk, “A Coney Island From the Mind,” Allen Ginsberg’s “Supermarket in California” and Denise Levertov’s “The Rights.” and Walt Whitman’s Crossing Brooklyn Ferry,” are featured in the anthology.
